This post discusses a framework for digital publishing characterized by the following components: the inside-out library (see also) that "sets the library as the institution that identifies and gathers the research results of its own institution"; platforms that handle relationships "between individuals and documents, between documents, and between individuals"; and a shift in emphasis by funding organizations that currently hold the for-profit publishing system in place. "The present scholarly publishing system distorts the communication system that the production of knowledge requires," writes Jean-Claude Guédon. I would argue that it similarly distorts the concordant system that education as a whole requires. Image: Lorcan Dempsey.
